Everything You Could Ask For

The property had everything needed for a stay up in Acadia, from kitchen supplies to general household items. Location was also great to get to all the various areas of the Park and not deal with the busiest areas. Great overall stay!

Exceeded Expectations!

Great place and perfect location. It is a few minutes from Acadia and about 12 minutes to Bar Harbor - the best of both worlds. The house was extremely clean and if we ever come back, we would stay here again!

It was perfect for our family to enjoy being out of the way, but close enough to walk the trails, go into the little towns, get food and supplies. We loved it and made great memories there. Thanks for sharing

Perfect and cozy

Everything was great! Very good location to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The one thing that was a small issue or an annoyance was that the dryer squeaked very loudly at times for several minutes and then would stop. Otherwise it was great.

Otter creek cottage in June

We were there the first week of June 2024. The place was perfect for us with one bedroom having two beds. Not far from Acadia and Bar Harbor. Amanda checked in on us and replied to all of our text or Vbro messages right away.

Perfect location

Otter Cove is the perfect location. Close to Bar Harbor, Acadia, and Seal Harbor. The house was clean and had everything we could need for our stay. We loved the trails off the dead end road, the fire pit, and the washer/dryer. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely stay at Otter Cove.

Amazing stay despite rain

Had a great 3-day stay despite rain & colder than avg temp for late May. Amanda was a great hostess, responding right away to a couple texts I sent. We arrived an hour before checkin and appreciated being able to get settled in early. In addition to being very close to many trails, this home is the most comfortable we have ever booked. Super comfortable mattresses & bedding. Several nightlights. Shades kept out the morning light. We slept great. The cottage is bigger than it looks from the outside. Amanda has thought of everything—Acadia placemats, coasters & artwork. There was salt and pepper, garlic powder, foil, paper towels & sandwich bags. No dishwasher but not a problem. Nice pans & utensils. Plenty of dish towels & potholders. We cooked most of our meals, grilled once & enjoyed eating together at the big table in the kitchen. Everything was bright & clean. We weren’t asked to, but we took our shoes off at the door to try & keep the floors nice since they looked so clean when we arrived. There were hooks by the door for jackets and a rubber tray for shoes. The L-shaped couch was comfortable for watching TV. Our 2 sons enjoyed lounging on it while watching YouTube (good WiFi). We watched a couple movies and even played Bar Harboropoly. Amanda has several Acadia guide books that we used. We washed & dried several loads of clothes. Weather kept us from hiking as planned but this home is perfect for relaxing & spending time together so we still had a great time in Acadia.

Lovely place away from the hustle and bustle

We had an absolutely wonderful time in Maine. This place was perfect for our family of 4. The kitchen is outfitted for anyone who wants to cook there which we did. It’s close to the National park and to Bar Harbor but not a crazy busy area. I highly recommend this place for your home away from home on vacation

Early Thanksgiving

We loved our stay at Otter Creek as we celebrated a very early Thanksgiving with two of our kids who can’t be with us in November. The place was immaculate and the kitchen so perfectly laid out did cooking a big meal. While I cooked, my family was able to walk to the Cadillac Mtn south trailhead and hike up to the top . Weather was perfect , and we also hiked into Hadlock Falls as a family and the falls were spectacular . Beds were comfy, bathroom sparkling. All in all a great visit!
